Layer combinations in PlotMaker 3.1

Anonymous
Not applicable
Plotmaker 3.1 creates layers for doors and windows that are placed in walls. I created a new layer in Archicad 8.1 named "Alternate" and placed walls, doors and windows on it. I also created a new layer combination for this new layer. Then I saved the drawing. Went into plotmaker did an update. dragged a copy of the view that I wanted to change went to the drawing settings, attributes update rules and unchecked the layers box. Then went to attributes, edit layers and picked the layer combination I created. Then pressed ok and nothing happened. So I tried an update also nothing. So went back to edit layers and noticed that plotmaker didn’t make the layers for doors and windows for the alternate layer but the alternate layer is there.

Does anyone have a suggestion?

Hi Steve

I have found that the only way to fix this is to remove the file from plotmaker then drop it back in to reset the layers
